What's Hot

.

Okay, so it wasn’t exactly John, Paul, Ringo and George storming The Ed Sullivan Show. But, for Kansas on a scorching hot day at the end of the summer, it felt a little bit like Beatlemania, as Never Shout Never and The Ready Set played a long overdue MySpace Secret Show at the Bottleneck in Lawrence this past Tuesday.

In the newest video for Massachusetts deathcore crew, The Acacia Strain, it’s an all-out prison brawl while the dudes rock out amid the mayhem. Check out the video for “The Hills Have Eyes” from the band’s new LP Wormwood.

Interpol’s  self-titled fourth album is both a new beginning, and an end for the new York band. Longtime bassist Carlos D has left, after contributing to the new album, but the band has also returned to Matador after a short stint at Captiol. Let’s hope drama equals delicious tunes.

Slipknot’s Sid Wilson is prepping to release his debut solo album. The DJ, known to Slipknot fans as #0, Ratboy, DJ Moonboots and DJ Starscream, told Billboard he has a solo disc recorded, and hopes to release it this fall. His label situation is still being finalized, but Wilson says he has the music ready to go.

“[It's] an eclectic mix of all the different styles of music I grew up listening to,” he said. “There’s a strong B-Boy influence in my music, ’cause I’m a DJ. I used to listen to a lot of Skinny Puppy and more mainstream things that came out of industrial, like Nine Inch Nails. I was always influenced by the Beastie Boys a lot and Run-DMC and the way they mixed their rock influences in their hip-hop stuff.”
